A Valentine Tango – Tango Llaneros | Chamber Music Series at SAMFA

Sunday, February 15, 2026 at 3:00 PM

SAMFA’s Grand Hall

A sultry, Valentine’s Day-inspired evening of Argentine tango music featuring the dramatic sounds of the bandoneon and strings.

Tango Lllaneros

Charles Olivier, Bandoneon

Catherine Olivier, Violin

Jesus Fuentes, piano

Laura Camacho, double bass

The mission of Tango Llaneros is to not only provide high quality live tango music but to educate the community on the traditions and history of Argentine Tango Music.  With our passion for education we provide presentation concerts and seminars to high school and collegiate level students.  Outside of the classroom, we provide various performances for music festivals and chamber series.  We believe that to make a better tango music scene in the United States we must start with educational programs in schools so that students can learn what tango music is and what is capable through it.

 

Admission is $15 General Admission, $8 Seniors and Military, free to students. Season passes can be purchased for $84. Tickets can be purchased on Donor Perfect and in the SAMFA Gift Shop and include exhibits access on the date of the performance. Light refreshments will be provided.

 

The Chamber Music Series is generously sponsored by Jake Martin and Dr. Kathryn Louie.
